Sunday Stills: Yellow



Today's theme is the color yellow. Initially I thought of all the regular things:
flowers, fire hydrants, signs, street lights, but those just didn't cut it. I wanted something different, something uniquely Hawaii. All it took was a walk around the town I live in. Heading out with yellow on the brain was all it took for the yellow all around to pop out at me. Here is what I found:

Waimanalo walk 5-21-09 The custom made street sign that the house down the road has.

Waimanalo walk 5-21-09 The yellow of the L&L Barbeque sign. If you haven't had L&L you haven't really been to Hawaii. So Ono!!!

Waimanalo walk 5-21-09 The yellow button to get the walk light.

Waimanalo walk 5-21-09 The yellow halo on St. George at the local Catholic church. I thought St. George slayed a dragon? It looks like he's got a giant gecko there.

Waimanalo walk 5-21-09 The yellow rabbit on the Roberts Hawaii tour bus.

Waimanalo walk 5-21-09 And finally, the emblem on the Waimanalo fire house. This is unit 27 of the Honolulu Fire Department. In a weird setup the entire island is the City of Honolulu, the little towns are really just districts.

Okay, that is it for me. I really enjoyed this one because it got me out and looking at my town with fresh eyes. I'm off to Sunday Stills to see who else played today. You can join in the fun by clicking on the button at the top of this post.

Love your shots. I saw yellow everywhere, even a fire truck, but my battery died and I was on the road with no way to charge it. Very good job, like the mosaic idea too!

Wondering what a 'planty keed' is? but its a great sign - sao much more detail than the usual school signs. But I think that rabbit is darn cute!
